That’s the only way to really tell what’s new is to do a side by side. 

I know (mostly) everyone who owned the previous version was always taking about how perfect and magical it was that it was basically as perfect as an APO. 

I have owned five copies of the previous version, so I know it pretty well. I haven't seen a lot of images from the new lens yet, but I've seen some. And I think they look less harsh, both wide open and stopped down.

I also think the 50 and 35 mm APO Summicrons look less harsh than their Summilux ASPH brothers, maybe due to their even better correction.

What is a more appealing lens - 50 APO or new 50 Lux?

That's something I want to find out too - but I need to see more samples from the new lens first.

(I'm sure the Summilux wins at f/1.4 though) 😉

Is it just me, or is there a strange lack of comparison photos and reviews for the new 50 lux? I get that it's pretty new, but there were so many 35mm fle2 reviews right away in comparison.

I finally found one (though in silver) in stock at Adorama so I'll do a bunch of realistic comparison photos when it comes against my lux 50mm black chrome (like not just shooting at dead trees with the sun behind them, wide open).

It's just a sign for that the new summilux isn't available anywhere at the moment. I ordered one and have to wait till autumn. If I could I would flood this thread with pictures.

I've seen a few silver copies of this available to be shipped right away.
